You know why I 'brag' about my degrees? Psychologists never thought I'd be able to read or speak another language when I was young, that helped my resolve to show them that they were wrong. Moreover, my parents told me to stay in school because they never did and thought it was the ticket out of lower middle class. And I'm the first in my family to even reach university. No one, not even me (for a long time), expected that I could do it. While I'm not saying I'm the best coder (I'm not), I do have practical skills: - I created an OpenGL computer graphics engine. - I created a few games with GameMaker and Unity3D. - I helped built web apps despite being completely unfamiliar with the stack (two freelance contracts). - I created 2 iOS apps (two freelance contracts). - I made a semi-automated trader bot (not that it worked, but it was fun scraping the NASDAQ). I made a lot of other scrapers. The most fun one was to reserve for an exclusive restaurant that a friend of a family member of mine couldn't get reservations for despite that he was always clicking on it furiously just before the reservations opened. - I know my way around IDA Pro and have implemented a state of the art rowhammer attack called GLitch (with the help of the author).
